Brass_Machine:
Very cool! Love the battery on the back! Beautiful fabrication. You fit in quite nicely here.

I am into the reverse trikes... the kind with side by side seating.

frame welding on one off trikes of this size is a bit of all sorts as you cant make a jig to build each frame. it would take to long to do so it's built off the floor this where i'am lucky. the shop floor is wood an half of it is coverd with 1/2  inch thick steel plate. so you can lay a center line out block a engine up off the floor to the hight you want than a rear axle. set up your two lower frame rails around the motor then the frame is built with a plumb bob and level. tack weld with the mig as you go and brace it all off the floor then finish welding off with mig and tig. it's a old way of doing it if you ever want a good read and like cars hand built take a look at build your own sports car for as little as $250 and race it  it's a Haynes book .i built one about 30 years ago as a lad and best of all i live in crediton devon and hear in the town we have "Marlin cars" one of the last hand built car makers and i can take a look around any time i like.

This is a trike i built about 96-97 one of two with almost the same frame you start off with one reliant plastic pig
and end up with a sweet little 100mph trike
